about
Clinical Scheduling

The first step in the clinical education process is generally scheduling students to clinical sites. This is a massive task that requires juggling each student’s schedule and preferences, preceptor information, site capacities, and much more. eMedley PA was built to help manage all of that data and streamline the scheduling process.

Scheduling Planner

Streamline scheduling with this highly intuitive and comprehensive interface. In a single interface, view all students and each of their schedules. With columns representing scheduling periods, the planner allows administrators to schedule students to sites, track capacities, and click each box to view schedule details. 

Administrators can also build a draft schedule until they are ready to share the schedule with students. Students can only view finalized schedules that have been published by administrators.

Clinical Scheduling
Types of Scheduling
Preference-Based Scheduling
Automatically place students in schedules based on their preferences for the time period, site, preceptor, and the available capacities.
Preceptor Request
For user-managed scheduling, students find the preceptor and clinical site they wish to be scheduled with themselves and submit requests to be approved by an administrator.
Lottery Based Scheduling
Student’s list their preferences for rotations, and their schedules are chosen by a lottery style selection.
Student Preference
Students can enter preferences for clinical sites and/or preceptors using an interactive map of available placements.
Features for Streamlined Scheduling

Capacities
Clinical Scheduling
Multi Preceptor Rotations
Assign multiple preceptors to a rotation schedule or allow students to select their preceptor once they are at the clinical site, giving students more freedom in clinical selection.
Required Rotations
Specify rotations that need to be scheduled during the year for each cohort of students. This functionality works alongside student preferences.
Rotation Prerequisites
Define prerequisite rules for rotations. These rules are enforced when scheduling so that only eligible students are able to be scheduled at that site, but can be overridden by administrators.
Capacities
Specify and track the number of students a clinical site, preceptor, and/or region will accommodate when scheduling. Setting capacities makes it easier for administrators to track what is available, and can also be automatically enforced in eduSched. Administrators can add or update any capacities for specific cohorts, rotations, and/or periods. Specific keywords can be included with capacities that can be searched by administrators when adding schedules, saving immense amounts of time.
